Pepsi Barcelona — Urban Memories | 2026
Original Mixed Media Painting on Wood | Vintage Pepsi Advertising, Rust & Barcelona Street Art | Sergio Aranda
An American icon meets the streets of Barcelona. Vintage advertising, industrial textures, and architectural memories come together in a unique contemporary artwork.
Pepsi Barcelona — Urban Memories is an original mixed media painting by Sergio Aranda, inspired by the history of American advertising, the unmistakable visual identity of Pepsi, and the weathered architectural surfaces of Barcelona.
The iconic vintage Pepsi logo emerges from a deep blue background, enriched with distressed textures, subtle scratches, aged patinas, and traces of oxidation.
Below, layers of ivory white, charcoal black, earthy brown, and rusty tones create the appearance of an old urban wall, worn away by decades of exposure to the elements.
The lower section features sculptural interpretations of Barcelona's iconic flower-shaped pavement tiles, known as panots de flor, adding a distinctive architectural dimension to the composition.
Vintage Pepsi Advertising Meets Barcelona Street Art
This artwork brings together two different visual worlds: the nostalgia of classic American soda advertising and the raw beauty of Barcelona's urban heritage.
The recognizable Pepsi emblem evokes vintage enamel signs, retro commercial advertising, old soda advertisements, and collectible American memorabilia.
Meanwhile, the textured and partially eroded background recalls weathered building façades, industrial walls, and layers of paint gradually revealed by the passage of time.
The panot motifs connect the artwork to Barcelona, transforming an iconic commercial image into a contemporary interpretation of the city's architectural identity.
Rather than reproducing an old advertisement, Sergio Aranda gives the familiar Pepsi logo a new artistic context through texture, abstraction, and material experimentation.
Rust, Erosion and Wabi-Sabi
Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, the painting celebrates the beauty of imperfect surfaces and the traces left by time.
Deep blues contrast with worn whites, dark industrial textures, and warm rust-colored details, creating an expressive composition with strong visual depth.
The layered surface invites the viewer to discover subtle variations, irregularities, and unexpected details.
The result is a balance between recognizable Pop Art imagery and the expressive language of contemporary abstract painting.
A Unique Artwork for Pop Art and Vintage Advertising Collectors
Pepsi Barcelona — Urban Memories will appeal to collectors of original contemporary art, Pepsi memorabilia, vintage American advertising, retro soda signs, industrial art, and urban-inspired mixed media paintings.
Its combination of bold branding and Barcelona's distinctive architectural motifs makes it an eye-catching statement piece for modern interiors, industrial lofts, creative studios, restaurants, and private art collections.
Unlike mass-produced Pepsi posters or reproduction advertising signs, this is a one-of-a-kind original artwork on wood, individually created with richly textured surfaces.

Art Care & Preservation
Art Care & Preservation
- Display & Lighting: While the archival varnish provides high-end UV protection, we highly recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to direct, harsh sunlight. To fully appreciate the shifting shadows of the sculptural gesso, display the piece under high-quality ambient lighting or dedicated LED art spotlights.
- Dusting & Cleaning: Due to the rich, sand-crusted organic texture, dust may settle over time. Never use water, liquid cleaners, damp cloths, or chemical solvents on the surface. To clean, gently sweep the textured relief using a dry, clean, soft-bristled brush (such as a premium makeup brush or a soft hake paintbrush).
- Humidity & Temperature: Fine art canvases thrive in stable environments. Display your painting in spaces with controlled humidity and temperature. Avoid hanging the artwork directly above heavy heat sources (like active fireplaces or radiators) or in high-moisture rooms like small, unventilated bathrooms.
- Handling: When moving or hanging your artwork, always hold it securely by the wooden stretcher bar edges. Avoid pressing directly against the center of the canvas to protect the structural tension and the delicate, raised mineral reliefs.
